Overview

On the day of Double Nine, it is a Chinese tradition to climb high. You can make the most of this public holiday and the cooler October weather by going outside and participating in some trail running. In TGR Double Nine, you can explore the mountainous landscape around the Tai Tam Reservoirs. There are three different routes available – 5K, 15K, and 27K – depending on your level of experience. This event is also the second race of the TGR Speed Series, so elite runners aiming for a higher ranking will make for an exciting race.

27K (previously 33K)

This course is quite challenging, with a total elevation of 1753m. The first half is quite runnable, with runners starting at Tai Tam Barbecue Area No.2 and then moving on to Quarry Gap and Sir Cecil’s Ride, runners will soon climb up Siu Ma Shan and Jardine’s Lookout and enjoy the metropolitan views of Central and Victoria Harbour. The second half of the course is where things get tough. The beautiful views of Tai Tam Reservoir may ease some of the toughness of the trail. However, the infamous and continuous steps of The Twins and Violet Hill will challenge everyone’s thighs. The key to winning is preserving energy for the mountains.

15K

This is the original route of Double Nine – a course that offers a fast pace for experienced runners and a gentle challenge for beginners. Take a moment to appreciate the stunning scenery. The natural beauty of the mountains and reservoirs creates a peaceful atmosphere.

5K (previously 7K)

It is a fast loop in the area of Tai Tam Country Park. Leaving the Tai Tam Reservoir Road at 500m, runners will make a sharp turn near Hong Kong Parkview and climb up Violet Hill via Tai Tam Country Trail. Then they go back to Hong Kong Parkview before they arrive the finish. It is safe and runnable, and kids will enjoy running in the woods and the top of mountains.
